I did auto complete Joe just the way it downloaded, I agree it does help sanity, when all about seem to be losing theirs :)

Well, I just tried

[jfitzgerald@xxxxxx ~]$ wget http://www.svgalib.org/svgalib-1.4.3.tar.gz
--10:33:33--  http://www.svgalib.org/svgalib-1.4.3.tar.gz
          => `svgalib-1.4.3.tar.gz'

and all was well. Perhaps autocomplete is tricking you? Note that if you try again, autocomplete only goes as far as 'svgalib-1.4.3' - the name of the directory you just untarred. Make sure you rm -rf the old svgalib directory (or type out the full filename)
